Zion Williamson’s undeniable talent continues to grab attention in the long run. In a recent match against Indiana, Williamson’s remarkable skills shone through as he intercepted a pass from Evan Fitzner, igniting a spectacular play that left the crowd in awe.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski had been emphasizing the importance of defense in the days leading up to Duke’s impressive 90-69 victory over Indiana. Player Cam Reddish shared that the focus was not on offense but on rebounding, defending, and communication, which ultimately became the team’s game plan.
Following a loss to Gonzaga last week that highlighted defensive lapses, Duke made a pronounced effort to shore up their defense, particularly evident in their dominant performance against Indiana.
In the first half against Indiana, Duke held the Hoosiers to a mere 33% shooting from the field and capitalized on turnovers to convert into crucial second-chance points, showcasing their defensive prowess.
Reflecting on the Gonzaga game, Williamson acknowledged the team’s defensive shortcomings but emphasized their ability to adapt and improve, leading to a stronger defensive performance against Indiana.
